* WORKING SCHOLARSHIPS. -
In order to encnourage eiticiency and
to aid good students of limited means,
a number of working scholarships
have been established. These schola-r
ships are awarded anhually to the
applicants who have made the best
records in study 'and conduct during.
the previous year and are otherwi'see
lualitied for the work required. Sttu
lents who are allppointed to these
scholarships assist in the !aboratories,
dining hall, in the library, in the of
fices of the University, as night
watchmen, etc. The time consumed
in the work is not epough to interfere
seriously with study. By means of
these scholarships many excellent
students have been enabled to pay a
large part of their expenses at the
University.

A New Policy in Summer School
The extension of the summer ses
sion to nine weeks has made it ips
s;:,le for summer studen:s- to work to
wald a degl ee. The work of fouri
summer sessions is about equivalent
to a year's cvori in residence, and
many teachers and cther students
have taken advantage of this oppor
tt:nity to enroll in the regular college
classes and prepare i';o graduation.
Some who have had advanced work at
other college were abide to enter the
Junior and Sniur c;asses and will
complete their work during the sum
mer sessions. Others will complete
their work during summer sessions
and during the regular term. Already
reveral have beeif ehabled to graduate
and hereafter more and more will
I:nish each year. At prei.sent the sum
ýlnr, 4 iiil liien ini the regular work is
dtlisributed as 1'olow's by c.assn s:
Fresihman class 48, Sophomore class
26, junior class 65, Senior class 30.
The great majori:y of the summer
students who are regularly classified
arc enrolled .in the Teachers College
or in the ('ollege of Arts and Sciences.
.At present 68 summer students are en
rolled in the College of Arts and
Sciences and 91 in the Teachers Col
lege. Other summer students are pur
suing courses which will enable them
to secure regular classification at any
time they so desire. The result of this
policy will be to furnish to the schools
with'n a few years, many more college
graduates as principals and teachers.
